Scientific name: ''Pilli flatularum''


The Doodlebug is an enemy in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4''. Similar to the [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]], this bug hides in a spot underground, and when approached, it unburrows and quickly scatters around. Periodically, it stops in place to rest, providing the player with the opportunity to hit it to obtain a reward, normally a [[Spray#Spray drop|spray drop]]. After resting, when it darts off to a new location, it leaves a cloud of poisonous gas behind, making [[White Pikmin]] the ideal choice for combat.

Scientific name: ''Pilli envelopens''


The Iridescent Flint Beetle is an enemy in {{p1}}, {{p2}}, and {{p4}}. It is harmless and has a tough carapace to defend itself with, making it invulnerable to attacks. It dwells underground in fixed spots, but when approached, it emerges and scuttles around in a panic. Occasionally, it stops and provides an opportunity for the player to throw a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] onto its back, making it flip and release a reward.

Scientific name: ''Lithelytra sisyphons''
